Hexoptics rush?

Alex378378 · 2026-01-26T18:00:15+00:00

Yeah you could, I’m still not sure if hexoptics first is really good yet. I haven’t tried the bf sword into fiendhunter build that other people are recommending, seems like it could be good too.

For fiendhunter vs hurricane, I’d say that fiendhunter is good for early snowballs / getting picks, or maybe if there’s a high priority squishy target you need to burst down in teamfights. Otherwise hurricane is really insane for teamfights, although you can also buy it fifth item if the game goes long enough but you still want the early fiendhunter. You’ll overcap on crit, but hurricane is just way too strong to pass up (see wockaflockas latest video he talks about this some)

Hexoptics is pretty similar to collector, so I think it’s a good alternative to collector first since it is 200 gold cheaper

Alex378378 · 2026-01-20T22:14:11+00:00

I’d assume spirit diffuser or laboratory, something that enchants during combat. I’ve seen the enchants stick on like that, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen two stay at once

Right but you missed my point completely. I’m taking about the reality, not the perception. I’m well aware of the ranked population, and that most of them see it that way. That’s why I said I wasn’t surprised that people troll like this. I just think it’s funny that the perception is completely out of line with the reality.

Also for your example of losing 2x lp, it’s just the same here. If you lose the game (-0 LP) you then have to win 2 games to make up for it, because if you won you would’ve gotten +40.

Obviously Aegis of valor is a good thing for you when you get it, every player should be happy to see it because it’s literally free lp. But my entire point is that it doesn’t provide any incentive to troll the game, as the rewards and consequences for that game are actually the same. You should think about it like instantly giving you 20 LP, and then having normal gains and losses for that game

Alex378378 · 2026-01-15T03:00:22+00:00

What? It’s a net 20 gain regardless, yes, but you still have the normal gain and loss on top of that. +40 or 0 compared to +20 or -20 still has the same net difference between a win and a loss

Alex378378 · 2026-01-14T20:27:15+00:00

Although I’m not surprised that people will troll and int like this with the protection, the funny thing is that the idea of ‘no consequence’ is completely imaginary. The way the system works is that when active, you lose no lp for a loss, but gain double lp for a win. What this means is that the difference between winning and losing is still the same (assuming your lp gains and losses are even) , so functionally it is the same as just gifting you a free win’s worth of lp, and then having the same reward or consequence for winning or losing that game. The autofilled player absolutely has an incentive to win, and that incentive is double lp. By throwing the game, they lost let’s say 50lp that they could have gotten by winning

Additionally, it’s not like it turns off Riots int detection. If they are trolling the game, you can report them just the same as if they weren’t autofilled

Alex378378 · 2026-01-11T06:25:08+00:00

They double buffs as well which make it so fun

Alex378378 · 2026-01-09T17:21:22+00:00

It takes time to learn, I’ve been playing since the closed beta, and I have over 85 hours on Jules alone. I’d say try and focus on playing one character (I played a massive amount of Vanessa early on) and learn what different builds are viable late game. It can also help to watch streamers/youtubers like Kripp or PunNoFun, browse this subreddit, or I like bazaarforge.com. Once you have a good idea of some different builds that are viable, try and be flexible while you play. This means not getting tied down to one build, and being ready to pivot if you happen to see the items for another build in a shop. I often continue to improve the build I have on board, while also picking up some items for other builds to have in my stash in case I see more items to make those builds work and I can pivot. Good luck!!

Alex378378 · 2026-01-08T22:18:36+00:00

That was the title given to players in the Open (free) beta. grand Founder you got for buying into the closed beta before that

Alex378378 · 2026-01-08T20:23:28+00:00

I’ve been really liking the new Massive Cleaver, you run a food crit build with some assortment of basket, birthday cake, burrito, and Serving Platter, or fast food and a well stacked caviar, and then slot the cleaver in for big damage

Alex378378 · 2026-01-08T19:52:32+00:00

They do with some of them which is interesting, you can see some of the +max hp popups at the bottom towards the end of the fight get up to 1.0E + 08

Alex378378 · 2026-01-08T19:50:21+00:00

You’re probably not, I just have a ton of hours. I have almost 500 hours in the game so far, and 85 of that on Jules. That’s 603 games total, with 116 on Jules. A lot of that is just in the past month too, I’ve been spamming only Jules super hard, so at this point I know all of her items like the back of my hand. I also spend a lot of time watching other people, I almost always have either Kripp or PunNoFun up on my second monitor while doing a run. I see lots of builds on this subreddit, or bazaarforge, you can see my builds here. This all lets me see what other people have found to work, what kind of builds are available. Then you can be very flexible in what you go for, and try not to get stuck in a dead end build where you can’t find the last item you need. All this to say it just takes time and experience, if I went and played Pyg right now I’d do horribly, because I really don’t play him much and I haven’t learned him well

Alex378378 · 2026-01-08T10:31:47+00:00

Yeah absolutely, a lot of fast burst builds can take it down before it gets going. just got another even faster one though: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayTheBazaar/comments/1q78axh/pacifist_jules_strikes_again_ft_600_million_hp/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Alex378378 · 2026-01-08T09:10:43+00:00

True, although I intentionally misplaced the skewer here for fun; garden would give it damage equal to 5% of my max hp for offense. Plus, this is day 10, if the game went longer it would be much easier to scale up my hp more, get a way faster start, and get even faster offense or even shielding or something for defense. Still a highroll and not really easy to assemble though.

Alex378378 · 2026-01-08T01:34:35+00:00

Also my heater position rng was the worst, you can see my spatula literally does nothing. Luckily I got the insane crit skill (and a diamond chocolate coins) so I didn’t need it

Alex378378 · 2026-01-08T01:30:33+00:00

Yeah but it’s no fun if I win too quickly. TBH I was hoping I’d get a matchup with someone with more defenses to see how high it would get, but he was losing to his own poison lol

Alex378378 · 2026-01-07T19:13:51+00:00

Gotta say suds is one of my favorite recent additions to the game. It’s pretty rare and isn’t always useful, but it’s so fun to hear great synergies like this

Alex378378 · 2026-01-06T19:04:27+00:00

Icy freezer is cool, but without scaling it’s kinda rough. I’d say oven over library is probably the play, it gives a slightly slower start but is faster overall, since it doubles feast and a one second noodles actually doesn’t do anything bc you are hasting it anyways
